“Artist Talk” with Ik Yun, Art and Culture Curator
As part of the Monthly Gathering courtesy of the Gwangju Biennale Foundation, the GB Artist Studio Visit for the month of April will take place on the 30th, 18:00 at artist Jinho Jo’s studio located in Neungju-myeon, Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do.
Visitors will have the chance to participate in a discussion about Jo’s work at his studio in addition to “Artist Talk” with art and culture curator Ik Yun about the artist’s past and present works and exhibition history.
Jo utilizes materials to question the ideas that shift according to one’s point of view, and expresses them through watercolors, Korean traditional paintings, wood carvings, woodcuts, and others. His recent works reflect upon the essence of our lives, life, and time with flowers as their subjects.
Born in Gwangyang, Jeollanam-do, Jo graduated Chosun University with a degree in fine arts education and had 16 solo exhibitions beginning with his print exhibition “Jabpulbaegi,” meaning “weed cutting” in 1984. He has served as Director of the Gwangju Museum of Art, in the Gwangju Biennalein Foundation Board of Trustees, as Vice Chair of the Gwangju Art Association, and as President of Gwangju Jeonnam Artist Community.
Gwangju Biennale’s Monthly Gathering is a local community-based project open to all local artists. If you would like to participate as an audience member, you may apply through the Gwangju Biennale website by April 30.
